The Confederate States of America (CSA), commonly known as the Confederation, were established in 1861, announcing their separation (secession) from the Union, ie the United States of America. This event, as well as many others, also of considerable importance, led to the outbreak of the bloodiest war in the history of the United States, known as the American Civic War, which was fought in the years 1861-1865. Of course, both in the North and in the South, when the war broke out, the army began to be built. In the case of the Confederate army, the main type of armed force, in terms of numbers, was the infantry. Confederate infantry from the very beginning of the war was formed into regiments, and several regiments formed a brigade. It is worth adding that in the course of the Civil War, it was the individual states of the CSA that formed the regiments, hence the names of the regiments with the state from which they come from can often be found. The size of the regiment was not uniform and at the beginning of the war it ranged from about 1000 to about 2000 people. With time, along with the battles fought, these full-time numbers drastically decreased and, for example, at Gettysburg (1863), the 18th Regiment from North Carolina had only about 400 people - let us add that it was no exception in the forces of General Robert Lee. The basic weapon of a CSA infantry soldier was a rifle with a rifled barrel. Added to this was, of course, a side weapon - apart from a bayonet, it could have been a cleaver, a long knife, etc. It is worth adding that the Confederate infantry clearly (especially in the years 1861-1863) dominated the EU infantry by the will to fight, morale, familiarity with weapons and general combat value. It was also often fought by great commanders, such as General Robert Lee or James Longstreet.
